The hose

1. If it can catch, it will catch.
2. 1 metre: the amount of hose you are short by when you think you pulled plenty out.
3. If you did pull enough out, it will tangle.

Stepping back with full extended pole only to find you forgot there is a large object behind you which causes an arse over title moment! Ouch!

I've done that. I tripped over my own trip hazard sign and landed in a fishpond!
It's a game of three halves!

Really you should have had a trip hazard sign for your trip hazard sign.

The hose likes to find its way into thorny rose bushes/plants.

It can catch on the slightest raised slab. You couldn't get it to do that if you wanted to, you'd spend hours trying and never get it to catch, yet it magically does it on a daily basis at work.

Paved steps with slight gaps between the paving stones.

You walk up them, dragging your hose, and without fail, the hose catches in them every time.

The only cure is to stand at the top and manually feed the hose arm length by arm length. Same on the way down.

Wet leg. Pinhole in the pole hose. Normally in winter when it’s less supple.

The hose can seek out and destroy those little solar powered garden lights no matter how good my customers try to hide them  ;D

Did it last Winter.....clean upstairs window.....thought I saw something I'd missed so stepped back to get a better look and foot straight into pond up to the knee.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.
